I dubbed the Nikon Coolpix P1100 my worst camera of 2025, only to claim that it was a guilty pleasure. And that’s because I secretly love this camera. As I explained in the article, the only grievance I have with it is that it’s – more or less – the same camera as the Nikon Coolpix P1000, with a USB-C port and a couple of very small upgrades. I want a proper successor to the most barmy bridge camera ever made, gosh darn it!
The reason I love the P1000 and P1100 is that they’re quite unlike anything else on the market: an all-in-one bridge camera with a whopping 125x zoom, resulting in an equivalent 24-3000mm zoom range. Oh, and you can double that with the digital zoom (although I wouldn’t recommend it).
